Award 1359242 provides renewed funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston)and will support a total of thirty students during a summer research internship. The program is called the Coastal Research in Environmental Science and Technology (CREST) REU site and is planned as a 10-week research/educational program designed to expose 10 undergraduates per year to cutting edge, integrative, coastal environmental science research. The research or educational niche filled by CREST deals with the transdisciplinarity of coastal research, which closely parallels the strengths of the School for the Environment at UMass Boston. Each CREST scholar will work with a research mentor to develop and conduct a research project in an area of coastal environmental science or technology appropriate to each scholar's background and interests. Students will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge instrumentation, field experiences, and training in coastal marine data collection and will participate in professional development activities that will develop skills in data interpretation and scientific writing, teamwork and leadership skills, and scientific ethics. Because of the trans-disciplinary approaches of the mentors and the inherent diversity of disciplines represented in the coastal environmental sciences, scholars will gain necessary skills in working across disciplines. The primary broader impacts of CREST are the recruitment and training of future researchers and educators in the coastal environmental sciences.

1359242奖为马萨诸塞大学波士顿大学（UMASS波士顿）的本科生（REU）计划的研究经验提供了新的资金，并将在夏季研究实习期间支持三十名学生。该计划被称为环境科学技术（CREST）REU网站的沿海研究，并被计划为为期10周的研究/教育计划，旨在使每年10名本科生揭露至尖端，综合，沿海环境科学研究。 rest填充的研究或教育利基涉及沿海研究的跨学科性，这与波士顿UMASS环境的优势紧密相似。每个CREST学者将与研究导师合作，在适合每个学者的背景和兴趣的沿海环境科学或技术领域开发和开发研究项目。学生将在沿海海洋数据收集方面获得尖端仪器，现场经验和培训方面的动手经验，并将参加专业发展活动，这些活动将发展数据解释和科学写作，团队合作和领导能力以及科学道德方面的技能。由于导师的跨学科方法以及在沿海环境科学中代表的学科的固有多样性，学者将获得跨学科工作的必要技能。波峰的主要影响是沿海环境科学中未来的研究人员和教育者的招聘和培训。
